The family of Shawn Michael Gilbert has asked the Patriot Guard Riders to attend his service and Military Honors and we would be privileged to do so.
Shawn Gilbert enlisted in the US Air Force in September 1991. He was honorably discharged in September 1997 at the rank of Senior Airman, E4.
After his time in the service he worked in the Civil Engineering Industry as a draftsman and worked his way up be the Lead Project Manager on different Construction Projects locally and out of state. He loved being involved in sports with his children and spending time with his family.
He is survived by his mother Patricia and father Steven, sister Stacey, wife Amanda, sons Anthony and Brodee, and daughters Victoria and Emma.
We will be at the church when our Hero arrives to stand a flag line when he is removed from the coach and when he is returned to the coach after the service. We will then accompany him and the family to the cemetery in Carpenteria for interment and Military Honors.
NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this Military Veteran. For those interested, and all are welcome, we will be accompanying the hero and his family from the church services to his final resting place. Please see the time table if you would like to participate. For those who would rather go directly to the cemetery, we will meet you there.
